Cafecito
Casa Humilde Cervecería Artesanal

Pours a dark black with 2 fingers of rootbeer float colored head. Nice lacing, awesome Cuban coffee on the nose. Taste is rich, dry,and a little bitter on the finish. A really nice beer, could use some smoothing out of the finish, maybe chocolate notes to round things out would be good.

 

 

 

From my original review 16 months ago, I'm combining that tasting with the today's on 3/25/21 and editing it as I believe Humilde has improved it.

Rarely do I find a porter this good-Looking. The root beer float head eventually goes away and there is a good-looking brunette. Smelling it, I'm struck how the coffee is muted but stays consistent to the end. Tastes are balanced; this style's drawn-out dry and bitter typically comes as much from hops as roasting malts; but Cafecito's coffee somehow helps the balance. Decent in the mouth, medium; but could have its bubbles last longer.

I've now had five from Casa Humilde, all but this was Belgian-inspired. I keep saying I will visit them next year. But in the northside (that is Cubs) tradition, "there always is next year." Hang in there Casa Humilde.

3/25/22 Still haven't visited. But I promise: this is the year ! (But please keep canning just in case.) Counting @ UnTappd.

Aroma is coffee and chocolate/mild milk chocolate. The flavor is coffee, dark malts, a hint of milk/lactose, chocolate and a big acidic/slightly sweet finish.
